Symphyllia spp. (Green) | XXL

Symphyllia spp. (Green) is a captivating large polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its vibrant green hues and distinctive fleshy polyps. This extra extra large specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef aquariums.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colouration and health. Avoid intense direct light which may cause bleaching.

Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water movement to ensure adequate gas exchange and waste removal without damaging the delicate polyps.

Placement: Position this coral on a stable rockwork base with sufficient space around it to prevent aggression or stinging from neighbouring corals. Symphyllia spp. can extend sweeper tentacles, so allow at least 10-15cm clearance.

Care Level: Best suited to intermediate to advanced hobbyists familiar with LPS coral husbandry. Maintain stable water parameters with regular testing and water changes.

Diet: While primarily photosynthetic, Symphyllia spp. benefits from supplemental feeding of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or specialised coral foods 1-2 times per week.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing near aggressive corals or those with fast-growing encrusting tendencies.

This XXL green Symphyllia spp. is a premium addition for UK marine aquarists seeking a bold, eye-catching coral that thrives under conservative care practices.
